Synopsis
Dynamic susceptibility (DSC-) MRI provides measures of relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) in paediatric brain tumours. Correction of rCBV for the effects of contrast agent leakage can be done using post-processing techniques. Eighty-five patients with a range of paediatric brain tumours underwent DSC-MRI scans at 4 centres using variable protocols. Leakage-corrected and uncorrected DSC-MRI parameters were calculated and patients were followed up. Median DSC-MRI parameters significantly predicted overall survival.
